我们的目标是分析芬兰、英国和瑞典这三个国家的经济困难的发生率和分布，使用相对剥夺的衡量标准。这项研究代表着一项独特的努力，因为我们的比较不是基于收入数据，而是基于对商品和服务消费的直接观察。所采用的方法是从Mack和Lansley(1985)开创的共识贫困方法发展而来的。因此，我们将观察到的是，由于缺乏收入，无法消费社会上认为的必需品，无论是商品还是活动。初步结果在很大程度上与单纯基于收入数据的更传统研究得出的结果相矛盾。它们还揭示了相对贫困在国家内部的结构方式以及三个国家之间普遍存在的差异的详细情况。这项分析是在比较国家之间的贫困和经济福祉时开发替代工具的努力的第一步。
Our aim is to analyse both the incidence and distribution of economic hardship in three countries - Finland, Britain and Sweden - using measures of relative deprivation. The study represents a unique endeavour as our comparisons are based not on income data but on direct observations of consumption of goods and services. The method applied has been developed from the consensual poverty approach pioneered by Mack and Lansley (1985). Hence, what we will observe is the inability to consume socially perceived necessities, both goods and activities, because of lack of income. The preliminary results contradict, to a large degree, findings derived from more traditional studies based solely on income data. They also reveal a detailed picture of the way relative deprivation is structured within countries and the differences that prevail between the three countries. The analysis represents a first step in an effort to develop alternative tools when comparing poverty and economic well-being between countries.
